1. Take a clear thick glass. Tip the glass sideways and carfully crush the pill with a spoon. Be very careful not to lose any of the pill. Now the pill is in powder form.
2. Take a small amount of peanut butter and mix it in the glass with the powdered pill.
3. Scoope the peanut butter and pill mixture onto your finger.
4. Gently open your dogs mouth and swipe the peanut butter mixture onto the inside of his teeth.
5. To make sure he gets all of his medicine – I wipe the glass clean with a little more peanut butter and give that to him.
6. Your dog will slowly lick and swallow all of his medicine.

Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:58:35 +0000http://onlynaturalpetblog.com/2007/10/09/collapsed-trachea-supportive-care/#comment-28875My 11yr old Toy Poodle has this. (And my 8yr old, seems to be getting it). I have almost eliminated the cough, with “Pet Cough” tablets containing gufaisen and dextromethoraphan (sp). The label says 1/2 tab every 4hrs., which didn’t help. So after a week I increased to 1 tab every 6hrs. Also holistic med called Drosera Rotundifolia, 2 tiny pills, am & pm. I also give her a CoQ10 (heart/lungs), a Resveratrol (Japanese Knotweed ONLY–no grapes/wine) anti-inflammatory for lungs, 1/2 a Dasuquin MSM, 1/2 Turmeric w/NAC & Milkweed extract, every day. EFAC (Esterfied Fatty Acid Cap) 1/4 cap every other day and Plaque OFF. I brush her teeth daily and also use Petzlife Oral Gel. So far, so good. When I took another poodle to my vet for this, years ago, all he gave me was some type of tranquilizer that made the poor dog sleep, drink and pee all over the house. THANK GOD for the internet, so I can research this stuff myself and choose the best treatment (natural) for my precious pets. She could probably use a dental cleaning, as she has a tiny bit of tartar on her very back molars, but I am paranoid after reading that sometimes a careless tech will shove the anesthesia tube in improperly. Therefore, I am trying to do it myself with the Plaque Off & Petzlife gel. I must say, it certainly is a relief, to not have to listen to my little baby hack away, nite and day, now.

He was diagnosed with a collapsed trachea and he seems to be suffering a lot. Its so hard to keep him quiet. The doctor’s have prescribed a cough medicine, but we can’t get it in him. I don’t know what to do. Can someone please help me.

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:09:29 +0000http://onlynaturalpetblog.com/2007/10/09/collapsed-trachea-supportive-care/#comment-4453My dog also has collapsed trachea (for four years). avoid rawhide treats (solid or granulated); avoid dry treats. I find frozen thin apple slices help or even a small amount of popsicle Recently ingested road salt and sent him in 24-7 cough. On low dose steroids. Weaning off. Will be trying product from Native Remedies. Tried Sinu Rite (from same company) in the spring and cough disappeared in 3 days.

With collapsed trachea, antihistamines caused phlegm back up in throat and had severe choking for 8 hours. I avoid antihistamines and decongestants. I hope this helps. Ritie

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:40:48 +0000http://onlynaturalpetblog.com/2007/10/09/collapsed-trachea-supportive-care/#comment-3197My 5 lb toy poodle was just diagnosed with a collapsed trachea. The vet gave him medication that he will need to take long term. I am just nervous and wanted to hear about other families that are living with a dog with a collapsed traches. Do they function in daily life okay? What kinds of special treatment should I give him? Has anyone lost a dog due to this? Please give me your feedback, it is very important to me. Thanks so much. Alyssa.
